Rapture Gaming Festival Cardiff 2018

This year we see
Rapture Gaming Festival going on tour across the UK. This is a
collaboration between European gaming events company Fragers and UK
based show promoters Kilimanjaro who wish to bring the gaming
festival scene to each corner of the UK. This allows everyone to get
involved as it means you don’t have to travel to London, or
Birmingham or even abroad to attend a great gaming show.

The Welsh leg will be
held in Cardiff University on the 8th to 9th of
September during the day. Or from 10am on Friday the 7th
of September til 10pm Sunday 9th if you are interested in
attending the gigantic 60 hour Over 18s exclusive Bring Your Own
Computer (BYOC) LAN party event hosted on dedicated private servers
with plenty of fun, prizes and experiences to be had at THE BIGGEST
gaming festival in Wales for 2018.

During the event, we
will see 9 different zones throughout the venue not including the 60
Hour LAN already mentioned, these will be family friendly events
which your ticket will cover:

Minecraft &
Roblox Zone and Stage – a huge dedicated area with dozens of
consoles & PCs and includes a tournament on each day.

General Gaming Zone
– hosts all modern freeplay content, including the latest console
& PC games as well as unique gaming experiences and equipment.

VR Zone – one of
the most popular zones, with over 6 VR setups including HTC Vives,
Oculus Rift and Playstation VR.

Tournament &
Competition Zone – gamers can put their skills to the test against
other friends and festival-goers.

Retro Gaming Zone –
pays homage to some of the classic consoles and games, to transport
the older generation back to their youth.

Tabletop Gaming Zone
– from Warhammer to WW2, gamers can bring out their ‘inner geek’
here and socialise with the whole Rapture community over some
tabletop games.

Indie Zone – a
chance to get up close and hands-on with independent game
developers.

Cosplay Village –
from prizes in the masquerade, to talks and live demos, to just
sharing your creations and photo opportunities, our cosplay
community is here for you.

On top of all these events,
we will see an over 18s After-party which starts when the daytime
sessions end at 6PM which promises a great bar!!

The Welsh Gaming Network
will be getting involved with Rapture Gaming Festival Cardiff 2018 as
it is our mission to connect as many gamers across Wales as we can.

Therefore we will see
members of our Welsh Gaming Network Stream Team attend as guests, so
come say hi if you see them. We will also see Welsh games developers
in attendance, keep an eye on our social accounts to get a sneak peak
on who is coming, and check back here on the WGN website!!

On top of our own members
attending, you’ll also see some huge names in the YouTube world and
Twitch world, with whom there will be plenty of chances to talk about
gaming and attend special Q and A sessions on the main stage, where
main tournaments will also be held.
